Holiday - Warm, Low Cost and by the Sea

Portugal - I've just booked my third holiday at Laurie & Jean's 2-bedroom self-catering apartment on the Algarve in Portugal. This holiday complex has easy access for wheelchairs, lifts and tiled level flooring throughout. It is in a modern complex in Alvor, that's a few minutes walk to the fishing village, harbour or beach. The weather throughout most of the year is warm and sunny like California. Laurie will let the apartment to Different Strokes people at half the advertised price (except for July and August when it is really too hot for most). The local Agents are English and most people you meet also speak English. - Joey
